The Devil's Voyage

More about the book

This is a fast-paced novel based on the story of the U.S.S. Indianapolis, the ship that carried the atom bomb from San Francisco to the Pacific island from which it was launched. Nobody imagined the unspeakable fate that awaited the ship carrying the instrument that not only changed the fate of World War II but the nature of warfare forever. What happened when 1,200 men forced into the water there to battle sharks, hunger, thirst, and terror— is one of the thrilling chapters in the story of courage and intrigue.
